Chasing your dreams

I had a 10 minute discussion with a young lady today who "works near her dream". That was her phrase for explaining why she is selling radio commercials when she really wants to be a press person in the hip hop genre. That actually would seem like torture to me. To be near the field you want to be in, with no real hope of getting there. I explained that if she was serious about wanting to be in PR she should focus all of her efforts on getting into a position to learn and network with people who are doing what she wants. It may require a pay cut, but you'll feel more alive than ever knowing you are on the path to do what God designed you to do. And you can't put a price on that.

Of course you also need to take some inventory before you begin the dream chase. Some good questions;
Is what I'm about to chase physically possible? That explains why my modeling dream died.
Is this a dream that helps others? If your sole goal is to help yourself not many folks want to help.
Does my dream line up with God? Your dream of being a drug king pin will have the blessings of satan and addicts. Your dream of being a pharmacist gets the support of our Creator and Lord.

I'm a firm believer that God created all of us with dreams He wanted us to chase to help each other. Artists, Doctors, Athletes, Soldiers, Politicians etc. Everyone adds to the tapestry of human life and when we work together in harmony we begin to form an image of what heaven will be like. So stop denying yourself... and us the gift of your dream. Get after it! Let me know how you're doing. kellynash_99@yahoo.com
